"If we had to do it over again, I don't think we'd spend that much money doing it,'' Sutor was quoted as saying in an article on delawareonline.com.

Dover Downs had invested $5 million to equip its facility with a sportsbook on the hope that it would be able to offer single-game, Las Vegas-style wagering on various professional and collegiate sporting events.
